ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fiber, when used at an appropriate dosage, is an option for the replacement of WWF and rebar as a safe and easy-to-use reinforcing system. The fiber is rust proof, alkali resistant, and compliant with industry codes when used in concrete mixed in accordance with ASTM C94/C94M.

PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fibers should be specified for use in concrete slabs:

To enhance residual strength, toughness & durability

To reduce plastic shrinkage cracking

To increase abrasion resistance

To improve impact resistance

To reduce permeability

FABPRO POLYMERS does not recommend this fiber for use in slabs as a substitute for primary/structural reinforcement.

Guidelines for Use

DOSAGE

The recommended dosage for the PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fibers 3 lb/yd3 (1.8kg/m3). It can be used at dosage rates from 3 lb/yd3 (1.8kg/m3) to 13 lb/yd3 (7.8kg/m3) or the equivalent dosage of 0.2% to 0.9% by volume, unless otherwise specified.

PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fibers are packaged in pre-weighed, ready-to-use, degradable bags which are designed to be introduced at any time before or during mixing of concrete produced in accordance with procedures specified in ASTM C94/C94M.
